but when i run the
cd /dev && rm cdrom && 1n -s scd0 cdrom

and type y to confirm deletion it returns with bash:1n:command not found and the cd drive does not work. What am I doing wrong? :confused:

Heyo all:

Look at the contents of /etc/fstab and see what the listings for your cdrom and burner are. To do this,

type Nedit /etc/fstab

or you can use your favorite editor to do it.

This will then let you know if those drives are mounted. You can cut and paste the result here if you still can't figure it out.

Linuly yours

Thanks for the help here is what it says:

/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0

Boy am I a newbie. Wat do i need to do now? :rolleyes:

steverc: check your typing again in the command you are typing.
The error message you got is quite correct, there is no program called '1n' (one+n), it should be 'ln' (lowercase L + lowercase N).

Hope that fixes it :)

It looks like you just made a typo, the correct way to do symbolic links is 'ln -s' where it is the letter L not a 1. Btw are you using a scsi driver, or if not (using a ide CDRW) you rembered to recompile your kernel for ide-scsi emulation.

Btw, what's the matter with your floppy drive. You didn't post any details as to what the poblem is.
